I've been meaning to do this for a while - brief thread on the basic tools I use. All of this stuff is free and open source, and all of it works on Windows, MacOS, and most variants of Linux.

I wonder how many of the 6800+ folks who retweeted this nonsense noticed this isn't really Tucker Carlson's account?

You have this exactly backwards. Infowars is not a critic of state authoritarianism - it is a purveyor of shameless propaganda on behalf of the wannabe authoritarian who is currently the head of state in the US. #FactsMatter #StuckInAnEmbassy

Jones responds to Google, Youtube, Apple, Spotify censorship. Infowars pushes a libertarian right world view, with doses of conspiracy, but it is also frequently the single most influential populist critic of state authoritarianism in English, of which the following is typical.

Funny how this particular case has completely failed to show up on Mike Cernovich's timeline. You'd think it'd be right up his alley. #FollowTheWhiteRabbit

The operators of bot networks need large numbers of accounts. This tends to result in the accounts looking similar. #MakeAnimeGreatAgain

@GregRubini @ZellaQuixote Tweet IDs encode several pieces of data, including a number identifying the datacenter that processed the tweet. Since distance affects network speed, it would be logical to handle tweets in datacenters on the same continent as the user. Can we find evidence that this is so?

Speaking as a researcher who has done a massive amount of unpaid work using these APIs over the last six years (and drawn attention to millions of inauthentic accounts), this is one of the most asinine and blatantly anti-transparency decisions you could possibly make.

Very few of the accounts in this network have tweeted. The majority of the tweet content is spam in Korean sent via automation service dlvr(dot)it promoting a website. As always, be wary of clicking links to unknown sites posted by dodgy accounts.

Despite being at least seven years old and having few or no tweets, these accounts have somehow accumulated over 50,000 followers each. In an interesting twist, almost all of those followers were created in November 2022. cc: @ZellaQuixote

BNN (the "Breaking News Network") allegedly offers independent news coverage from an extensive worldwide network of on-the-ground reporters. In reality, however, much of BNN's "coverage" appears to be mildly reworded articles copied from major news sites. cc: @ZellaQuixote
